This sheet explores the ABO and Rh blood groups, the antigens and antibodies associated, the process for blood typing, and how anomalies can be identified and explained. It considers the varying need for blood components in various patient transfusion scenarios, in parallel with the understanding and interpretation of screening for the detection of unexpected antibodies and identification of clinically significant antibodies.

"The great thing about Smart Worksheets is that they tell you at every point whether you’ve got it right or wrong, what might be wrong and how you might go about changing it. The students found that really valuable. In their exam, we found that the average mark in the maths questions rose from 59% to 79%, which made a really big difference to the student outcome.”
